I'm gonna pull the controls out. I'm hoping there are side walls and just the bottom is open to pass the wiring through.....if this is the case I will just build a backplate to complete the "pocket"
If this works show some pics please.
Removal of RSE will cut off rear speakers if you are using the factory amp. It can be bypassed, but I forget which wires need to be jumped.
The pocket is different for consoles 03 and up.
I was thinking of adding a power inverter under the console and making a panel with a power outlet.
